During World War I, Alfred Aloysius "Trader" Horn (Rod Taylor) leads an expedition in search of a platinum mine in an unexplored region of Africa.

They are pursued by German soldiers wanting the platinum for the war effort and by a British officer (Don Knight) hunting Horn as a traitor.
“The anti-hero image was stretched as far as it could go. I think people now want to see a good guy win out over the bad guys through intelligence, courage and strength – the traditional makeup of hero types.” Rod Taylor
